My Nonprofit Reviews

My roommate and I decided to look for a second poodle to add to our little family (we already had one poodle and three indoor-only cats, all of which are rescues) so we started searching and found Poodle Rescue of Vermont, Inc. While reading through their website, we found out about their "Seniors for Seniors" program which adopts senior poodles to senior citizens at no charge based on their reference checks with your veterinarian, personal references, and your home visit.

My roommate is a retired pet groomer and she decided to fill out an application for a senior poodle named "Annie." We were impressed with how quickly Terri returned our call to discuss our application and interest in Annie. Both my roommate and I have worked in the veterinary industry and volunteered with animal rescue organizations, we were extremely impressed with the thoroughness and concern Terri had for finding Annie a perfect home. After a two hour conversation, Terri told us that she thought we'd be a perfect match for Annie and said she'd be in touch when another volunteer finished checking our references. Three days later, we had a phone call telling us that they wanted to set-up a home visit for the up-coming Saturday (it was Tuesday) and that based on how this went, Annie would be ours. Saturday came, and Annie began her journey from Vermont to Southern Maine, riding first with her foster mom to meet up with another couple an hour and a half from our home where she transferred cars and rode the remainder of the trip with a second couple. Annie arrived here on January 10, 2015, and we fell in love with her instantly! The home visit went extremely well and Annie was able to stay with us.

It has been three months since Annie joined our family and we still periodically hear from Terri checking in to see how Annie is doing. We are thrilled with Annie and how well she has adapted to living with our family. We have also been very impressed with the thoroughness and concern the rescuers from Poodle Rescue of Vermont, Inc. have displayed throughout the adoption process and follow-up contacts with us.

We highly recommend adopting from Poodle Rescue of Vermont, Inc., they are a wonderful organization!
